✨ Technical Specifications
Trapiche's Pinot Grigio showcases a delightful, fresh expression of this classic European grape adapted to the unique, high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza, Argentina. While Argentina is world-famous for Malbec, pioneering producers like Trapiche have long experimented with white varieties, utilizing the cool mountain breezes and intense Andean sunshine to craft whites with remarkable aromatic intensity and crisp acidity. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its vibrant fruit character, this wine avoids oak contact, allowing the pure, clean expressions of citrus, white peach, and delicate floral notes to shine. It represents Trapiche's commitment to versatility and modern viticulture, offering an approachable, refreshing style that bridges Old World grape heritage with New World energy.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1883 by Tiburcio Benegas, Bodega Trapiche stands as one of the historic pillars of Argentine viticulture. Located in Coquimbito, Maipú, within a meticulously restored 1912 Florentine-style bodega, the estate balances immense production scale with nuanced terroir exploration. Under the ownership of Grupo Peñaflor and winemaking direction of Sergio Casé, Trapiche orchestrates fruit from over 1,000 hectares of estate vineyards alongside long-term grower partnerships. Holdings span high-altitude alluvial terraces in the Uco Valley, classic Primera Zona terroirs, and pioneering cool-climate oceanic sites in Chapadmalal on the Atlantic coast. Viticulture emphasizes environmental sustainability, complemented by certified biodynamic estate parcels. In the cellar, gentle extraction and refined oak aging define benchmark expressions like the iconic Iscay blend, the single-vineyard Terroir Series Malbecs, and the maritime Costa & Pampa line, showcasing the dynamic breadth of contemporary Argentina.
